People were legit scared of "so called 'heavy metal' music". Its really crazy to look back and see how out of touch mainstream America was and how scared they were. Also, just how tame the metal was that they are scared about. Finally, the people making the most sense are the metal heads themselves! If this is not enough fear-mongering for you, check out this Geraldo special on Satanism from the 80s

suicide the only way out,dont you know what its really about.
dont they understand those lyrics there its clear as day. it pretty much said if you think suicide is the only option than you dont know what its really about.
Barbara Walters is a cunt
I love how they play two seconds of a Megadeath song and then go straight on to Motley Crue, as if they're the same thing. Also, why do the kids all look ten years older than they say they are? That 17 year old looks like he's thirty.
PS - Tipper Gore needs to shut the fuck up and go get laid. Liberals and Repubs all want to tell us what music and shit to listen to, and who in their right minds thinks that Iron Maiden turns kids into evil, sex-fiend criminals, anyway? *lmao*
Last time I checked, Republicans were for minimal government, lilygoat. Tipper Gore is most definitely a Liberal Democrat, not Republican.
This made me laugh. The 80's were a interesting time for metal. Its amazing how the news still hasn't change. Different issues more shock value to scare you into believe what they say to watch their news program.
evil people burn things they disagree with... nazis
Metal it was the greatest, Now it still is the greatest, tomorrow it will still be the greatest, \m/ METAL RULZ 4 EVER
btw: in my stupid country , wich is in the eastern Europe , there still are stupid ideas about Metalheads , before the fall of the Berlin Wall and Ceausescu, there were many people wich were listening rock & metal - but in very nasty conditions, after 1990, only a few years - rock & metal were promoted on tv & radio, after that nobody is not doing it in mass-media, because they promote only shit, like rap, pop , house and a shit made by gypsies , for me it seems like a a plan of destroying this nation, I don't think the future of this nation looks to good , but worse is that nobody would do something to stop this.
LOL LYRICS OBSESSED WIT SEX AHAHHAHAHHHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
OH shut the fuck up Tipper Gore.. You fucking ignorant piece of bullshit.
Dig the hair!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lived through all that...good times! I remember parents freakin out about me and my friends music...lol. We got called into the principals office and asked if we worshiped the devil....lmao. I am a Christian my whole life and I remember just being shocked by that question just because I liked metal...lol. The 80's kicked much ass!
i lived through this crap,and trust me it was even worse in the south...ya know bible pushers!
metal has never been promoting suicide, it's been there to make you fucking strong not feel like a fucking emo. Metal makes you feel good, and lifts your mood. Who can feel suicidal after listening to Slayer's raining blood or Cancer Bat's Hail Destroyer or Pantera's Walk. It"s never made me feel depressed. I hate it being labelled as satanic or evil lol sure i love death metal and black metal but most isn't evil. Metal is the most creative music, it's more diverse than this so called "rap" with all these sub genres we have. No one listens to metal to feel weak or justify being depressed, we listen to forget about it and just have fun and rock out. Tipper Gore is a suppressive skank who is a complete prude, metal is an outlet, i think metal fans are smart enough to distinguish reality and fantasy found in lyrics. Creative tales and songs with actual meaning are better than this rap shit where they sing about jewellery and what kind of clothes they like on their skank. lol sure i love Gwar and their obnoxious but really everyone knows they aren't literal and it's entertainment. Whereas there's no value in listening to this shit like vanilla ice or flo rida or soulja boy or jibbs, what do you get out of it? absolutely nothing. With Gwar though, you have imagery, you have actual talent, you can appreciate on more than one level. And we don't have fake shit in metal, no fucking auto tuning. If you suck you don't play that's that. And we have the best fucking live shows. Nothing can top Rammstein's live show or Gwar's. Mosh pits are the best stress relievers. You can bring all the shit you're dealing with and take it all out at shows and in a healthy way. You forget about all the bad shit and have a good time and leave feeling a hell of a lot better. With Between The Buried And Me, and Periphery and Veil Of Maya and many other proggy bands you can delve deep into the music and listen to it on many different levels and appreciate it for it\s talent that it takes to perform it. Fuck rap, fuck pop, metal is the best. It's the main genre i listen to and the best one and i don't just listen to metal, but i do believe it has been the one to change my life a lot.
